## Detailed Description

### template<class T = double>
class vigra::Gaussian< T >

The Gaussian function and its derivatives.

Implemented as a unary functor. Since it supports the `radius()` function it can also be used as a kernel in resamplingConvolveImage().

#include <vigra/gaussians.hxx>
Namespace: vigra

## Member Typedef Documentation

typedef T argument_type

the functor's argument type

typedef T result_type

the functor's result type

typedef T value_type

the value type if used as a kernel in resamplingConvolveImage().

## Constructor & Destructor Documentation

Gaussian | ( | T | sigma = `1.0`,
|  | unsigned int | derivativeOrder = `0` |
| ) |  |  | `[explicit]`

Create functor for the given standard deviation `sigma` and derivative order n. The functor then realizes the function

Precondition:

                sigma > 0.0

## Member Function Documentation

unsigned int derivativeOrder | ( |  | ) | const

Get the derivative order of the Gaussian.

Gaussian< T >::result_type operator() | ( | argument_type | x | ) | const

Function (functor) call.

double radius | ( | double | sigmaMultiple = `3.0` | ) | const

Get the required filter radius for a discrete approximation of the Gaussian. The radius is given as a multiple of the Gaussian's standard deviation (default: `sigma * (3 + 1/2 * derivativeOrder()` -- the second term accounts for the fact that the derivatives of the Gaussian become wider with increasing order). The result is rounded to the next higher integer.

value_type sigma | ( |  | ) | const

Get the standard deviation of the Gaussian.
